Allied Realty and Development

Not only were there ridiculous charges when moving out, but also were neglected for the full year as plumbing and dishwasher were constantly broken without them fixing it. We had human feces in our yard for over half the year. Everyone who works there are terrible people who care only about getting your last dollar. A joke of a company and pathetic individuals. It's a pain to find housing in Tuscaloosa but do not make the mistake of settling with allied realty like we did.

Beware of your security deposit!!!!! This agency will steal as much of your deposit as they can. They took 650.00$ out of the deposit for cleaning. I cleaned that unit from top to bottom and I have the photos to prove it. I was charged 40.00$ for two blinds and 100.00 in labor for put the blinds up. They mentioned something about replacing a toilet that I have no clue of why they charged for that and over 250.00 for paint and supplies. I left that unit spotless. Why the paint???? I'm clueless on that also there was no marks on the walls at all not unless it was from previous tenants. Two fully grown adults and a 13 year old occupied this unit at all. Damaged two blinds trying to kill flies but we replaced them before moving out. SMH this agency is a joke,so Beware. By the way the unit was half *** clean and nasty when we moved in. Here are some before move in photos and after move out. The agency held 1,040$ from my deposit.

Disgusting roach infested buildings. One maintenance guy that never responds. Security deposit of $1500 stolen from you. Angela that own this realty company is horribly rude and unprofessional as you can tell from the petty responses to all these bad reviews. Just trust me on this one.. sign anywhere else in ttown.

Wow. I have read some not so pleasant reviews. However, I have been very impressed with the customer service at the local Tuscaloosa office. Shay has been very responsive and helpful. She addressed my questions timely and actually remembered to follow up with me on a pending request. (Rather than me follow up with her) The apartment is not top of the line but it's a college town, so my expectations are lower.

I co-signed on a lease for my store manager and her two daughters. They lived in the house for 2 years. 8 months after they moved out, I saw that my credit score went down 52 points. When I looked at the reason, it was because I had an account turned over to collections. It was from Allied Realty. I was never presented with a bill of any kind. When I emailed them about this, they responded with a copy of a letter that they sent out 5 months ago. And then said they cannot talk to me, and I need to talk to the collection agency. The letter was addressed to my manager, at their address, that she was no longer renting from. There was no mention of me, my address or anything to do with me on this letter. They had email, address and phone number and did not try to contact me about this bill. Now I can't dispute the phony charges that they billed her for. A $750 cleaning fee????? An additional $250 to remove paint cans from the basement (that belonged to Allied Realty.) $150 to cut the grass which once she moved out, was not her responsibility. If you lease from these people, be prepared to not only not get your security deposit back, but to billed for excessive stuff. And then be prepared to not get notified about it, so you are left to argue with a collection company, because they won't talk to you about it. In other words, find a different landlord

Was looking for a rental for my Daughter in Tuscaloosa...allied realty had some of the worst mainted and over priced properties I have ever seen! We are from the beach area where rental pricing is quite high However Allied properties were dumps in comparison. If you want your students to be ripped off, Allied will certainly oblige you!

The worst student housing to ever exist in Tuscaloosa. Multiple times I tried to call regarding an issue and no one picked up the phone at 2:00pm during the day when they close at 5.

Also, never ask them to run by your apartment because you left your stove on. They will charge you $95 just to turn off a switch. (So never leave your stove on) especially when they can't communicate with you in a timely manner about the situation when I clearly told them NOT to go.

The outside of MYERS flats (my apartment complex) is always covered with dog feces and they never do anything about it when they can clearly have people that CAN take good care of it.

There were also multiple times they showed our unit after we asked them not to multiple times. RUDE!

Mostly all of our toilets get clogged every now and then (and don't ask to get that fixed either) because that'll be $95.

I'm absolutely disgusted with the way these people run their so called "business". I'm even more appalled at the fact that I work as a leasing associate and I know this is not the way to handle a property. It's a constant reminder as to why places like this change management so often. Because you simply suck.

Lack of communication
Not direct
Outrageous charges


Thank you and have a nice day.

When our nephew enrolled at Alabama (Roll Tide!) we selected Elements on 30th for housing. It's clean and neat, convenient to the university and the move-in was easy and quick. Angela, the person we dealt with, couldn't have been nicer or more helpful--going out of her way to ensure her new tenant was satisfied and all was well. We couldn't recommend Allied Realty and Elements on 30th more.

A one star is really too much for Allied. My daughter rented with two roommates at Myers flats in Tuscaloosa. They paid about 700 dollars each and they took a one month deposit. At the end when they graduated each got only 175.00 back. In other words they kept over 1500 from all three of them. It is such a scam. They wrote down 50.00 dollars for 5 lightbulbs. It is such a scam what they do to the University of Alabama students. It is disgraceful. The kids left the apartment in great condition. They wrote down they changed the racks in the refrigerator. Please. When my daughter moved in last year they didn't paint her room yet we have to pay for their maintenance.BEWARE

My husband and I had a very frustrating experience with Allied which left us without housing and cost us over $2,000. The first day we moved into the property, we found it to be dirty, with mouse feces in the kitchen, a hole in the roof, and mold growing throughout the house. It looked completely different than when we walked through it a few months prior. When we complained, Allied said the home was "move in ready" and that the mold was "habitable mold." Mold makes me very sick, so we had to stay at a hotel until we could find a new place to live. In order to break our lease with Allied, we had to surrender our security deposit and first month's rent, even though we never lived in the home. Please be careful when renting with Allied. We have been renters for over 10 years and never had such a stressful and costly experience.

My daughter rented a one bedroom. Allied Realty Management was Only Ones with a Key!!! SHE WAS ROBBED of around $10,000 worth of Furniture, Clothes, Shoes, Jewelry, Makeup, Vaccum, Bean Bag Chair, Bar Stools, Ipad. They were showing her Apartment and in charge while she was out of town for few Months. They told her because her Apt. was So Nicely Furnished and kept Well, they were using it to show prospective renters. ANYWAYS this was Allieds Fault. May even be a Inside Job Robbery, because there was No Forced Entry and the stuff taken was Only the Expensive Shoes, Jewelry etc... Whoever it was, they knew they had time!
